Hosted by the publishers of the British leftfield arts magazine Nude, this 6 week course will explore notions of counterculture with reference to the visual legacy of a series of subcultures and underground youth movements which have risen to prominence in Western pop culture since the early 1960s.
Beyond the Counterculture will take you on a colourful and provocative journey through the art of the Pin-Up, Surf and Kustom Culture, Psychedelia and underground Comix, the Tiki revival, punk graphics, lowbrow art, Pop Surrealism, designer toys and indie crafting, touching upon the work of Ed Roth, Robert Williams, Shag, Coop, Kozik, Jamie Reid and James Cauty (formerly of the KLF) amongst many others.
Beginner’s level – no prior knowledge required
Please note: This course will make use of visual imagery which some may find offensive.
Tutors: Ian Lowey and Suzy Lowey-Prince
